Zone & North West Athletics
Rain, hail or shine, the 2025 Zone Athletics Carnival was going ahead! What an experience for our students to have the opportunity to compete at such an amazing facility in Tamworth at the Regional Athletics Centre. Congratulations to all our athletes who competed. I am so proud of how you conducted yourselves with other school students and staff, as well as the event officials on the day. You should ALL be very proud of yourselves!
A massive thank you to our parents who made the last minute dash to Tamworth at such short notice, our school administration staff for all their efforts to assist with organisation and phone calls, especially when the venue was changed, and to Mr Richard Cotter and Mrs Sue Lye for their efforts in officiating at events and supervising our students. It is the combined effort that makes these events happen for our students.
Our students achieved excellent results with Ben Venue finishing 2nd overall in the Zone Carnival. Congratulations to the following students who received Runner Up Age Champion medallions across the various age divisions:
Jnr Boy Runner Up - Thomas Goodare
